Yes his version of this song is refreshing it renewed the spirit of this song even the original artist I'm sure can appreciate it the same way . We need to learn to spice up things a little and changed things it's like in your house rearranging furnitures just as simple like that can bring your home an instant makeover the same effects with the song a little twist on the notical arrangement can do much much flavor into sweet listening ears .
He is a awesome singer.some ppl just judge him because of his life style .but that don't matter in my opinion .He s still a man of love and integrity and I love him for who is even in 2024.❤
He sang this song so beautiful. All these years later, and I still can't get enough of his version of this song. Especially when he hits that high note...amazing...beautiful!!!
Such a harmonically clean effortlessly loud and firm tone produced by a refined use of vowels and precise placement.Amazing range and musicality to boot.This man is everything a professional singer should aspire to become
God almighty.. what a voice he's got to be one of best vocalist of all time... When he can take the Righteous brothers on ... great God... wonderful... wonderful
Clay Aiken possesses a soulful and emotive voice that resonates deeply with audiences, touching hearts and evoking powerful emotions with every note he sings.Through his heartfelt performances, has the ability to connect with listeners on a profound level, sharing his authentic self and spreading messages of hope, love, and positivity.
It has been seven years since Clay was on AI. This song gave me chills then as it still does today. David Foster loves hearing Clay sing this song--so do I.
CLAY CĹAY, THE CAMERA WAS THE BEST EVER, YOUR MOVEMENT AND CAMERA MADE THIS YOUR BEST VIDEO EVER!! I KNOW AND I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING THIS PERFORMANCE. THANKS AND LOVE YOU.
Clay Aiken has such AMAZING talent!! He sings his heart out. He puts his all in everything he dose. He is truly a blessing to me and so many others. He can lift your spirits with his beautiful voice. Blessings to you Clay Aiken!!
One of my favorite performances of his on Idol!!! I love that he was finally able to record his own rendition of this song on his tried and true album!!!
He did tend to be a tad to fast head of the beat. Think he was nervous and wanted so badly to at least make the top two. He should have won. He’s style is more for a older generation so I think that might be why he hardly sings anymore. ❤️ Mr. Aiken!
Caro Clay, ogni volta che ascolto questa canzone eseguita perfettamente da te, penso che sei l'unico al mondo ad averla resa immortale ! Sarà sempre una grande emozione riascoltarla !!! 😃
None better than CLAY AIKEN!! I love this song so much and Clay sings his heart out in it. Just listen to the audience applaud for him !! AWESOME JOB CLAY AIKEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be watching for what he has for us in 2013.
Such a harmonically clean effortlessly loud and firm tone produced by a refined use of vowels and precise placement.Amazing range and musicality to boot. This man is everything a professional singer should aspire to become. Even though Bobby has forever owned this song this just fits Clay through and through
This is absolutely, positively the best rendition of this song EVER. This song is so difficult to perform if you doubt this listen to Susan Boyle's tepid, lethargic rendition of this song. This song seperates the singers from the master singers.... Clay you are a master, your voice is sheer perfection.
After watching American Idol top 4 tonite May 2014, I know why the ratings are low...the talent that we used to see like this, just isn't there anymore...he is great!
God kissed your vocal chords Clay..sensational voice, do hope your music has taken you to greater heights..please come to NZ sometime..I saw this clip by accident, and have never stopped referrin g to it..beautiful redemption..Ka kite
There is not one A.I. past or present that can hold a candle to this man... I never thought anybody could out sing the Righteous Brothers on this Beautiful song... but Hey, Clay, you did it. You are a fanstastic talent as well as being a great human being.
No, he's a singer. He was a singer first Technically he was a teacher first & then he did Idol .He did politics briefly & even said himself that he would never do it again
Clay sang his most recent version of this song on "The View", June 1 from his new CD. His vocals will blow you away at the end! Absolutely beautiful arrangement of this timeless song.
Clay will ALWAYS be my favorite Idol contestant and I've never missed a season since it began. If God's voice could be heard singing, it would sound like Clay's!
I was a huge Righteous Brothers fan. Always loved this song, which has been recorded by over fifty performers in the last sixty years. This is from 2003, when contestants sang to back-up tracks, with not much control over it. Clay Aiken recorded his own version of this song 2010(?), which is amazing. What I appreciate is that he has recorded many classics which has not been heard in years. I think we find singers who affect us with their voices, just because you don't like their singing style, doesn't mean they're not exceptional.
Haha, me, too! Saw him on the AI Season 5 Finale when that guy was awarded "Best Impersonation" and then Clay Aiken just came out and started singing with him. That was the first time I ever heard Clay sing, and it was absolutely amazing! I've been a huge fan ever since (honorary Claymate)! :)
I'm going through literally every artists version of this song I can find, Righteous brothers, Elvis, Tom Jones, Etc looking for the version I love the most. I sat here listening to this song wondering if he would hit the high note and by God he did! Hehe, He just made a fan, and this is definitely my favorite version of the song so far!
clay...clay... I didn't think anybody on this earth could sing this like the Righteous Brothers but my wonderful, talented man, you did... absolute breath taking beautiful beyond all words...I'm still gasping as your range and your vocal ability. You leave all the other A.I.contestants back at the starting gate and that includes Clarkson and Underwood. Love you man
I dont like the show but this version by Aiken is the best version I've ever heard of this song - especially at the end when he jumps that octave and hits that high - incredible voice!
He's definately one of the better contestants ever on this show. I love how he hit that high note. Enjoyed it when watching his season and still love it!!! I still think he should have won
SORRY CLAY THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE SO MEAN TO YOU, BUT THEY ARE IGNORANT AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND. I LOVE YOUR VOICE AND IT IS PERFECT FOR MY EARS. KEEP US HAPPY WITH YOUR VOICE. THANK YOU.
Kianne Yourface HI KIANNE, LOVE YOUR NAME. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. MY NAME IS SUZANNE I TEACH LINE DANCING COUNTRY ROCK AND ROLL. I COULD NOT GET RUNAROUNDSUE SO I TOOK THE O FOR AROUND RUN O SUE. TALK TO YOU AGAIN.
When I hear Clay sing this, I get good chills all over and my eyes tear up! I love you Clay, Nobody can sing like you! Your voice is totally amazing! LOVE YOU!
There's no denying he's got an amazing voice. Pace was a bit fast, but they've only got a limited time to perform the song on AI. It did show his great range and control.
Best of the best! Still watch him sing too. This was back when the contestants sang to a backing track -- and a short part of a song. Clay blew everyone away! No band, no backup singers, no fancy lighting and stage affects -- just the performer.
He has an incredible voice. I just don't think the background music, or backup singers in other videos for instance allow him to convey the emotions that he can.
Plz be advised: Does not require replay but requires review upon every replay, without exception. Reconstructive analysis: "Clayy...Aiy-kinn." Discussion: Just ridiculous. There are no words for this noise.
Clay, you are an inspiration to us all....you are the tear that falls (happy tears).... all the colors of the rainbow....more of a man than Simon C. will ever be. We love you and miss you. May God Bless you, because he has blessed us with giving us. ...you.
His voice was touched by God’s own hand. One of the best voices of all time. No doubt about it.
All time is an accurate description
Agree! Beautiful!
Clay was always treated like a joke over the years but he is genuinely an amazing singer.
He is fantastic, without question.

He is a awesome singer.some ppl just judge him because of his life style .but that don't matter in my opinion .He s still a man of love and integrity and I love him for who is even in 2024.❤
He was a white gay man against a black fat guy. He was going to lose.
One of the best, if not the best, voices of this generation, singing one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Brilliant!
He sang this song so beautiful. All these years later, and I still can't get enough of his version of this song. Especially when he hits that high note...amazing...beautiful!!!
Such a smooth, flawless transition between his chest voice and falsetto! He hit that high note so effortlessly!
Such a harmonically clean effortlessly loud and firm tone produced by a refined use of vowels and precise placement.Amazing range and musicality to boot.This man is everything a professional singer should aspire to become
Clay should’ve won that it . I voted for him he has amazing voice
He should have won idol in my opinion, he's got an amazing voice..❤
Yes, he should have. There are no gay American Idols.
God almighty.. what a voice he's got to be one of best vocalist of all time... When he can take the Righteous brothers on ... great God... wonderful... wonderful

Ok Chatgpt
It has been seven years since Clay was on AI. This song gave me chills then as it still does today. David Foster loves hearing Clay sing this song--so do I.
haters that hate him are sickening- he nailed this classic
I couldn't agree more but to me his version is even WAY better than the original!
Love his rendition of this song!! He knocks it out of the ballpark!!
CLAY CĹAY, THE CAMERA WAS THE BEST EVER, YOUR MOVEMENT AND CAMERA MADE THIS YOUR BEST VIDEO EVER!! I KNOW AND I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING THIS PERFORMANCE. THANKS AND LOVE YOU.
Clay Aiken has such AMAZING talent!! He sings his heart out. He puts his all in everything he dose. He is truly a blessing to me and so many others. He can lift your spirits with his beautiful voice. Blessings to you Clay Aiken!!
I could listen to this all day, the best, the very best!
One of my favorite performances of his on Idol!!! I love that he was finally able to record his own rendition of this song on his tried and true album!!!
Beautiful song sung by Clay, such a beautiful voice, i'm his fan forever.
That is what I call truly professional singing.
Except he's about 2 beats too fast.
And isnt singing anymore... ???? Wonder why????
He did tend to be a tad to fast head of the beat. Think he was nervous and wanted so badly to at least make the top two. He should have won. He’s style is more for a older generation so I think that might be why he hardly sings anymore. ❤️ Mr. Aiken!
February 10, 2024..... never goes out of style..
I adore you.. me and my heart stand prefer your version... Absolutely flawless! Ty
Chills at the sound of this amazing voice. He has such a pure voice, loved it.
He still does it to me after all these years. I can't wait for his album.
I love Clay’s voice. He does a great job with this song. ❤❤
Caro Clay, ogni volta che ascolto questa canzone eseguita perfettamente da te, penso che sei l'unico al mondo ad averla resa immortale ! Sarà sempre una grande emozione riascoltarla !!! 😃
My Clay sang this to me 3 days after he met me publicly at a wedding . Love this.
None better than CLAY AIKEN!! I love this song so much and Clay sings his heart out in it. Just listen to the audience applaud for him !! AWESOME JOB CLAY AIKEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be watching for what he has for us in 2013.
Such a harmonically clean effortlessly loud and firm tone produced by a refined use of vowels and precise placement.Amazing range and musicality to boot. This man is everything a professional singer should aspire to become. Even though Bobby has forever owned this song this just fits Clay through and through

This song seperates the singers from the master singers.... Clay you are a master, your voice is sheer perfection.
No
This really shows off just how good his voice is, he has such an amazing range. I love how the audience goes crazy when he hits that high note :D
Still go to this video. So much my fav!❤❤❤
He makes me have chills all over my body. I love you Clay!
I agree 100%
Who could possibly not like this version of this classic song?
He is absolutely the most wonderful singer! Wow!!
I don't think there has ever been any other male singer up to date that has impressed me as much as I was when I first saw this.
After watching American Idol top 4 tonite May 2014, I know why the ratings are low...the talent that we used to see like this, just isn't there anymore...he is great!
God kissed your vocal chords Clay..sensational voice, do hope your music has taken you to greater heights..please come to NZ sometime..I saw this clip by accident, and have never stopped referrin g to it..beautiful redemption..Ka kite
I love to hear different renditions of great songs and I think he did a beautiful job.
There is not one A.I. past or present that can hold a candle to this man... I never thought anybody could out sing the Righteous Brothers on this Beautiful song... but Hey, Clay, you did it. You are a fanstastic talent as well as being a great human being.
Clay can out sing almost anyone.
No he didn't
@dlclcn5021 no he didn't
Clay sings like no other. Amazing. :D
Now, clay aiken is a politician. Never heard him sing again. Damn it, this guy sings better than 95% of the singers from this generation. Smh.
Adit Jonathan Interesting. I did not know he became a politician. I always wondered what happened.
Kia Thomas ikr. He's doing well as a politician tho. But still at the end, his talent goes to waste
No, he's a singer. He was a singer first Technically he was a teacher first & then he did Idol .He did politics briefly & even said himself that he would never do it again
@Mark J Only morons use TDS in the way you just did. Get an education, kid.
I loved this version that Clay did. He was brilliant.!!! He's a powerhouse vocalist
What a wonderful job that he did! This is a very difficult song to sing and he did it absoutally supperb! thank-you
Clay sang his most recent version of this song on "The View", June 1 from his new CD. His vocals will blow you away at the end! Absolutely beautiful arrangement of this timeless song.
.......great rendition, BRAVO clay aiken............ your are a superstar in the making
that was flawless 👏👏
I remember how happy this song made my grandmother, thank you.
Clay will ALWAYS be my favorite Idol contestant and I've never missed a season since it began. If God's voice could be heard singing, it would sound like Clay's!
Thee best singer I have ever heard , Nobody is better , emotion , range, voice, and SUPER TALENT
My goodness, Clay, I just love you voice on American Idol.
I was a huge Righteous Brothers fan. Always loved this song, which has been recorded by over fifty performers in the last sixty years.

what a wonderful singer clay is.
AWESOME JOB,, LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!!
I guess some people don't know a good thing when they hear it!!
Keep up the good work, Clay Aiken!!!
This version of this song is hands down my favorite version ever, my god if he wasn’t made to sing this song
I still love this one . What a voice! Clay this is your song, you do it better than anyone else ever! Grateful Grannie
Perfect song choice for him! Suits him perfectly like a glove on a hand!
Oct. 16, 2024. Not many a singer would have "DARED" to take on this classic. He knocked it out of the park.
Best performance ever of this song. Spectacular
Nope
Absolutely beautiful!!!! I remember the night he sang it. Mesmerizing.
Honestly, this and "Bridge..." are two of the top 10 performances ever on Idol.
I got another one: Joshua Ledet's performance of When a Man Loves a Woman
I agree with both of you so much!!!
Haha, me, too! Saw him on the AI Season 5 Finale when that guy was awarded "Best Impersonation" and then Clay Aiken just came out and started singing with him. That was the first time I ever heard Clay sing, and it was absolutely amazing! I've been a huge fan ever since (honorary Claymate)! :)
Still can't believe he didn't win😭
right? I'm still mad!
I will always be pissed. That season was rigged .I have never watched since!!!!!!
I'm going through literally every artists version of this song I can find, Righteous brothers, Elvis, Tom Jones, Etc looking for the version I love the most. I sat here listening to this song wondering if he would hit the high note and by God he did! Hehe, He just made a fan, and this is definitely my favorite version of the song so far!
Still gives me goose bumps to listen to this version!
clay...clay... I didn't think anybody on this earth could sing this like the Righteous Brothers but my wonderful, talented man, you did... absolute breath taking beautiful beyond all words...I'm still gasping as your range and your vocal ability. You leave all
the other A.I.contestants back at the starting gate and that includes Clarkson and Underwood. Love you man
I know he is the #1, because no other contestants can even attempt to do the songs he did...all of them, incredible hard and very famous.
I'm starting to watch this video everyday. Just...AMAZING!
I dont like the show but this version by Aiken is the best version I've ever heard of this song - especially at the end when he jumps that octave and hits that high - incredible voice!
HI Clay,I always loved that song well done.Peace.GARYV.
It's 2014 and I still watch it
I still watch it too, Clay is a great singer!
Resha Resmana So do i.. 2015 now in fact! the best singer on American Idol.
EXO SVT PTG TRASH I'm watching it & it's 2017!!! ❤️❤️❤️
EXO SVT PTG TRASH 2017 😍
I'm only 17 I only got a few dollars
Love this song and Clay,s voice gives me goosebumps.... Awesome !!!!
He brought many great songs over to the 21st century
He's quite talented, but this version of this great song can't stand up to Elvis or the Righteous brothers, regardless of century.
MiserableOldFart that is your opinion, not a fact.
Clay's version of "Unchained Melody" very nicely done!
He's definately one of the better contestants ever on this show. I love how he hit that high note. Enjoyed it when watching his season and still love it!!! I still think he should have won
Awesome job Clay Aiken!!! Just beautiful ! But he is always awesome!! Love Clay so much!
Claymate for lifetime.
Magnificent voice, excellent band. Well Done!!!
Clay sings this song the best I ever heard. This is one one my favorite songs and WOW thats all I can say
Clay Aiken is so talented. I am still a big fan and listen to his music all the time.

When I hear Clay sing this, I get good chills all over and my eyes tear up! I love you Clay, Nobody can sing like you! Your voice is totally amazing! LOVE YOU!

Always coming back to see this amazing video!!!
There's no denying he's got an amazing voice. Pace was a bit fast, but they've only got a limited time to perform the song on AI. It did show his great range and control.
I agree…so I put it at .75 soeed and it’s 👌
Best of the best! Still watch him sing too. This was back when the contestants sang to a backing track -- and a short part of a song. Clay blew everyone away! No band, no backup singers, no fancy lighting and stage affects -- just the performer.
He has an incredible voice. I just don't think the background music, or backup singers in other videos for instance allow him to convey the emotions that he can.
Totally amazing! Never forgot this!
